So I failed a smog test the other day and turns out my aftermarket cat the was on my truck is no good , so I scored an oem cat for my truck today and it came with flanges on each end of it.
Problem thou my cat. That is on there now is aftermarket and doesn't have flanges on it , it's just welded on , would any decent muffler shop be able to weld up some flanges to match the cat. ? Any idea on the cost for this luxury? I thought about cutting the flanges off the new oem cat but doesn't look like there will be any room to weld to it Any advice would be great thanks. I have a 2 1/4 custom exhuast with Doug thorley headers and a magnaflow muffler 18 inch so not to load.

 

LCengineering sells flanges.

should be around $40 to get them welded on.

If your're not picky about having Toyota flanges most exhaust shops have univeral ones they can weld on.

 

Awesome man! I'm picky when it comes to certain parts but exh. Flanges universal will do just fine , but at 10 bucks each from lc that will be my second choice , thanks for the link !!

 

What I'm really hoping for is better gas mileage lol. The cat. That's on there now was ran with a motor that burned about 3 qt.s a month for about a year so it's gotta be shot ?!!
